I heard that Gonggong Wei has always refused to come to the officials who defected to him, asking for officials to officials, asking for money for money, especially the members of the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties who were oppressed by Donglin, they have always been regarded as guests, and they are extremely popular in the eunuch party, but I don't know if I will accept me who is not a member of the three parties this time, and whether I am willing to go toe-to-toe with Donglin for me?

Cui Chengxiu's head never stopped along the way, he was not sure that Wei Zhongxian would definitely accept him and work against the Donglin Party for him, but now there is no other way but to pin his hopes on Wei Zhongxian, otherwise, he can only pack his things and obediently go out of Beijing to join the army.

In fact, how could Cui Chengxiu be willing to attach himself to a eunuch temple and cause a lifetime of infamy and the eyes of others, but if he didn't, he would lose his official position and abandon his post, fill the army, and ten years of cold windows and a lifetime of hard work would be in vain, how could he be willing! In addition, he has been bullied by the Donglin Party in the past few years, he has long had enough of the days of swallowing his anger, and now Donglin doesn't even let him go, what else is there to worry about, what is so nostalgic! The clear name of the scholar is just an illusion, and the real profit in front of him is the real thing!

Didn't Zhang Juzheng also become famous because of his collusion with Feng Bao? Since he Zhang Juzheng can achieve immortal fame, why can't I, Cui Chengxiu, rely on Wei Zhongxian!

With a stomach full of apprehension and uneasiness, Cui Chengxiu could feel that his heart was about to jump out, and the further he went, the harder he jumped. Finally, the footsteps of the palanquin drivers stopped, and the mansion of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, arrived!

"Master, Grandpa Wei's mansion has arrived!"

The sedan chair drivers were so tired and sweating profusely that they drove all the way, and everyone was exhausted, squatting on the ground and panting. Cui Chengxiu in the sedan chair is not much better than them, and the unknown future makes him fearful, like groping in the dark, which makes him confused and frightened. After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath, he lifted the sedan curtain, and at this moment, there was no other thought in his heart...

"Stop, what are you doing!"

As soon as Cui Chengxiu got off the sedan chair, he heard a loud shout, and then he saw three people walking on the steps of the Wei Mansion, all wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small silk.

Cui Chengxiu knew that these few people were the porters of the Wei Mansion, so he hurriedly stepped forward to make a salute, handed over the name sticker, and said respectfully: "A few people have passed the word, Cui Chengxiu, the left deputy of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of Huaiyang, wants to see Gonggong Wei!" ”

At this time, Cui Chengxiu also disregarded his identity, and directly bowed to a few unqualified and classless Dongchang fans, but thinking about it, he treats the guilty people, where is there any respect for the court members now. If Wei Zhongxian doesn't accept him, I'm afraid he will be put in prison tomorrow.

"Who?!"

Qian En and the others were about to take over Cui Chengxiu's name sticker, when they heard Yuan Dahai in the porter suddenly cry out, and then rushed out of the house with an arrow, looking at Cui Chengxiu under the steps in a daze, and muttering the word "Cui Chengxiu" in his mouth, with a little doubt and a little surprise.

Qian En and the others were confused by Yuan Dahai's strange expression, thinking that Yuan Dahai recognized this Cui Chengxiu.

Qian En stepped forward and asked quietly, "What, acquaintance?" ”

"Oh... No... It's not..."Yuan Dahai shook his head, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked Cui Chengxiu up and down quietly.

It's better to be famous than to meet, and Cui Chengxiu, who doesn't want to be the head of the "Five Tigers" of the eunuch party, is such a weak middle-aged Confucian image, looking at him is quite honest, not like the scorpion person at all?

According to historical data, half of Donglin's defeat was due to this Cui Chengxiu, whose influence and status within the eunuch party were second only to Wei Zhongxian, and even the eunuch Wang Tiqian, the eunuch of Si Li's palm seal, Gu Bingqian, and Wei Guanghui, who were scholars, were not as good as his status in Wei Zhongxian's mind. As the head of the "Five Tigers" of the Eunuch Party, Cui Chengxiu contributed greatly to Wei Zhongxian's complete solution to the Donglin Party, and then held a high position and was powerful.

originally thought that Cui Chengxiu, as the core backbone of the eunuch party, should have taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian a long time ago, but he didn't expect that this person would come to take refuge at this time, Yuan Dahai was naturally shocked in his heart. (All the core figures of the eunuch party, such as Wei Guanghui and Xu Xianchun, every time they come to the mansion, they are sedan chairs that go straight to the second door, Yuan Dahai They dare not stop them at all, and those officials who come to vote for a name and ask for a meeting are all new people, so from Cui Chengxiu to ask for a name, instead of directly entering the mansion surrounded by a group of guards, Yuan Dahai analyzed that Cui Chengxiu has not yet defected to Wei Zhongxian.) ）

So how did Cui Chengxiu vote for Wei Zhongxian, and how did he make his fortune?

Yuan Dahai was curious, changed his routine, and said to Cui Chengxiu: "It's so late, Gonggong Wei is afraid that he will have stopped a long time ago, what are you doing with his old man?" ”

When Qian En and the others heard Yuan Dahai say this, they were all stunned, and looked at him puzzled, this was not in accordance with the rules.

"This..."

Cui Chengxiu squeaked, unwilling to say what he meant, but took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Dahai, and said with a smile: "Little meaning, please make it convenient for your Excellency to pass on a message for Cui." ”

Qian En thought that Yuan Dahai would accept Cui Chengxiu's silver, so he was busy and reminded in a low voice: "Sifang, the prince has an order..."

"I know." Yuan Dahai waved his hand and handed the silver back to Cui Chengxiu, nodded and said, "My father-in-law has rules, I don't dare to accept the door bag, and I ask Master Cui to take it back!" I'm going to tell you that if my father-in-law hasn't rested, I should be able to let you in. ”

As soon as he heard this, Cui Chengxiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you!" Cui is grateful! ”

"Please wait, Lord Cui!"

After signaling to Qian En, Yuan Dahai turned his head and walked towards the second gate, which also had a duty room, but the person guarding it was a eunuch from the palace.

has been a gatekeeper in the Wei Mansion for half a month, Yuan Dahai and the eunuchs on duty at the second gate are naturally familiar, and immediately told Cui Chengxiu about his request to see, and the eunuch on duty did not dare to delay, and sent a teenage little eunuch to pass it on to Wei Zhongxian.

After the matter was done, Yuan Dahai retreated to the gate, and saw Cui Chengxiu looking anxiously in the palace, and said in his heart that this person must have something important, otherwise he would not have such a look. There was a sudden feeling in his heart: Could it be that he came to see Wei Zhongxian so late and had something to do with the Donglin Party?
